2021 Map of Buena Vista Lake Bed

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Buena Vista Lake Bed dominates the central topography of this portion of the San Joaquin Valley, illustrating a landscape shaped by massive water infrastructure and industrial grid layouts. The Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct cuts a definitive path through the northern and western sections, serving as a primary artery in this arid basin. To the north, Lake Webb and the Outlet Canal provide a contrast to the dry lake bed, while the settlement of Dustin Acres sits on the western margin near the transition to the Buena Vista Valley. The elevation increases significantly to the south and west in the Buena Vista Hills and Elk Hills, where the land is scored by drainages like Sandy Creek and Bitter Cr. The intersection of these hills with the Midway Valley highlights the complex geological transitions that define the southwestern corner of the quadrangle.
